I must disagree. The way it is, not fine. If one breaker goes off, the pump
stops. A worker might think the power is off, but the pump is still "hot".

And like you say "you have to remember....." which is dangerous. I vote to
get the double breaker, and be safer than it is now. For your AC, and for
the fellow's house pump, also.

The way it is now is fine, I would not lose sleep over it. Whats
important is as long as the circuit opens if there is a problem, does
not matter which breaker opens. Even though 1 leg is still live, it is
still protected by its own respective breaker. Of course if you ever
have to work on the pump, you have to remember to shut both breakers
off. I have a 220V A/C in a condo that is protected by 2 individual 15
breakers, no problems.
If you like to replace with a 2 pole 15A breaker to simplify things,
you may.
